thewritingcoach's podcast

Welcome to The Writing Coach. On this podcast, I speak with the instructors, editors, coaches, and mentors that help writers and authors create their art, build their audience, and sell their work.

 

In episode 9 of The Writing Coach, I speak with author and writing coach Cathy Yardley.

Cathy Yardley is the author of almost 20 fiction and non-fiction books spanning multiple genres and several major publishing houses. Her Rock Your Writing series of instructional writing books provide authors with practical tips and strategies for writing and business. She also works one-on-one with writers as a writing coach, and offers unique story-planning sessions.

During the interview, Cathy describes:

  • how she got started in the writing industry by joining the Romance Writers of America as a publicist
  • why she recommends genre authors produce a book a year if they want to maintain an audience and income
  • the role a support team plays in an author's success
  • the importance of motivation and goals in order to being prolific
  • why writers need to approach their writing like a business
  • her inspiration for writing non-fiction instructional books
  • and much more!
